THE B. AND o. DEAL.

The Trade is Closed, Bat Who the Fur
ChaseIs are is Secret.
NEW YORK, March 18.-The World
says there is every reason to believe that
Henry Grady of the Atlanta Constitution
has access to authoritative information
IS to the arrangements in regard to the
sale Of the Baltimore and OHIO from in
huential southern railroad friends IN
New York, and that the following state
ment sent by New York correspondent
to the Constitution is based upon the
exact facts: "The Gickering is done.
The squabble is over, and the Baltimore
and OHIO deal is closed. This is not 8
mere TumOr, but an actual fact. The
trade has been positively effected, and
Mr.. Garrett has decided a controlling in
terest in his great railroad property to
new corners. Who the purchasers 8re is
yet held liz profound secrecy, but sons
names that nave been prominently con-
neCted with the recent negotiations are
not down On the list. Mr. Sully has
nothing to do with the purchase,
and does not probably even know
of it as yet Neither has Mr..
Gould any interest in the trade, nor is the
city d buyer; but at the same time some
Of the leading members Of the Terminal
management are individually interested.
When this matter is generally known, and
the mystery is cleared up, it will more
than likely have stimulating effect on
the general stock market, and the tape
will probably record considerably higher
prices for majority of the active stocks.
The absorbing interest in this subject of
late, and the perplexiDg uncertainty of
the matter, has been q decided damper on
speculation, and has tended to materially
check the volume of trade on exchange
With regard to the future presidency of
the Terminal Company, it is not generally
known, bat John II. Inman positively
declined to entertain an idea OF accepting,
and to-day's rumor is that r. S. Hays,
formerly manager of Gould'5 Missouri
Pacific system, has been solicited to take
the position, end that he is considering
the matter faVOrably."

THE LTBEL LAW.

Some months ago the New Orleans
Times-Democrat made this criticism OF
the Texas libel law, and it is as applica-
bic to-day as when written: "Bound by
such rules as this, the publication OF news
becomes difficult indeed. A journal has
to publish the news st once; it can not
sitt and examine it from every point OF
view, investigate its source, and find out
all the points affecting it. If it did this,
its news would indeed be stale It must
present the facts to its readers immedi-
ately after their OccurrenCe-the very
next day if possible; taking every care
and precautiOn in its power 10 prevent
injury being done. But can it go beyond
this? Can it be responsible for every
word said in. the Legislature and commit
tee? Must it examine the reports OF all
commercial, political and other bodies,
and stand responsible for any error or
mistake they make?
"The law of libel is used to good purpose
by the rascals and swindlers throughout
the country, and furnishes them with g
weapon which they often employ against
the newspapers to prevent the latter from
exposing them. If this Texas decision
becomes the law Of the land, no journal
will dare say word against thieves and
scoundrels until they are tried and con-
victed, because, so this decision declares,
DO information or communication is priv
LEGGED except that given before judicial
body. Not until question is tried in
court can newspaper speak of it without
risk or danger" No reputable news
paper asks license for malicious utter
ances, but such journals 90 ask that
where unintentiOnaI offense is committed
prompt retraction may be & defense.
Under the law asst stands, the very news
papers that are most solicitous to deal
fairly by all men are the journals selected
by the two-bit characters of the state to
depredate upon through courts and
juries, while the papers most prone to
malicious publications escape because
irresponsible in law. The Twentieth
has performed much good
work; will its members not supplement
their public service by an set of simple

THE DRLMMER TAT.

Comptroller McCall's position in regard
to the license tax levied by the state of
Texas upon commercial travellers, repre-
senting firms or corporations In other
states, but Offering their wares or
products for sale in Texas, is simply IN
asSailable. An enterprising drummer,
declining to pay the tax. imposed by
Tennessee law, decided to test the
legality of the practice, pursued by Texas
and so many other states, of taxing inter
state commerce. He went into the
courts, going from tribunal to tribunal,
until he wound up in the United States
Supreme court, where, as the press dis
patches have reported, he won victory,
for the court decided that such tax,
levied by state, is in conflict with the
constitution of the United States. This de-
cISiOn is law for the whole country, and
there must necessarily be q revision Of
state statutes that conflict with federal
law. But it may well be doubted il Mr.
Mccall has authority, on the strength Of
this decision, to cease the collection Of
drummers' license tex. Bis functions
are executive, not ministeria;, and he can
not be supposed to know, officially, that
any law of Texas is illegal until apprised
CT such fact by state authority higher
than himself. AS he says in his letter to
the Waco drummer (Which has been pub
lished in THE GAZETTEl there are two
sources OF Information to which he must
look for authority. One is the Legis-
Iature, the other is the Supreme Court of
Texas. The diCtum of either Will war
rant the Comptroller in ceasing the col
lection of the tax. 1t is hardly probable
there is any mistake about the nature
of the decision of the United States
Supreme court in the Memphis case. It
would seem, therefore, waste OF time
as we'll as inappropriate pertinaCity to
have the Texas tax law remain unchanged
until test case can be gotten into the
State Supreme court, for that tribunal
can but affirm the principle laid down by
the higher court. There are plenty of
lawyers, and some axle oues, in the Texas
Legislature. They ought to know
whether it is worth while for Texas to
essay delay. If it is not the state should
accept the situation gracefully and re
peal the drummer tax law now while the
Legislature is in session, and make the
necessary appropriation for refunding to
firms the money that has been Illegally
collected under the provisions of the law.
We take it for granted there will be
q general demand for the return of
moneys thus paid, for if the tax was il
legal the collections were equally SO, and
the state, no matter how sincerely it may
have believed its policy wassjust and
legal, has no right to the money. u all
the money thus collected by the state and
counties has to be refunded the sum will

BAYLOR COUNTY TRAGEDY. :,
An Old Citizen of Knox seounty Een,I,
hIurdereds ~

murderedf ~
Correspondence OF the Gazette.
SEYMOUR, TEX, March 1G.-The great
est excitement prevails IN our town over
the murder of Travis Turner, an old and
respected citizen OF Knox county. Mr..
Turner, in company with Mr.. Sam
Lazarus of Sherman, was on his way
from Benjamin, the county seat of Knox
county, to this place. When about one
and half miles from here they were
attacked by three men who opened
fire on them st once. The horses
hitched to the buggy ran, but
the assassins continued to shoot
81 the parties IL the buggy. After run
uing about one mile the deceased fell out
of the buggy and the horses ran on into
town with Mr.. Lazarus, who, strange to
say, escaped unhurt. There are i've shot
holes in the back of the buggy, and both
of the horses are badly wounded. The
deceased leaves a wife and family to
mourn his death. The authorities think
they know who the murderers are and the
rangers are in pursuit.

ORGANIZE AND WORK.

The GAZETTE has industriously and
earnestly sought to impress upon it's PEG
pie the need of organized effort in behalf
of the general welfare There is fux
of money westward from the great east
ern centers, and the capital that has
hitherto gone into government bonds and
securities of railroads east of the Missis-
sippi river now seeks employment in
western real estate. What is Fort Worth
doing to exhibit to this capital the advan-
tages offered by this place for investment?
Cities with ten times the population OF
Fort Worth do not consider it sufficient
for them to sit and wait and accept what
ever by chance may find its way to them,
but they have organized their efforts to
show to the world their advantages and
the opportunities offered by them to in
vestors. Fort Worth needs a Merchants
Exchange or Board of Trade; il
needs rallying point for its
forces; it needs organized effort.
Money from the east is flowing
westward by the million, our people sell
a few hundred thousand dollars worth Of
real estate and are seemingly content
when other places in distant states are
exchanging asmuch real estate for money
in day as we transfer in week.
Not only money but men are coming
westward. Fort Worth has railroad ia

KUKLUX KILLED.
Three Vigilantes Shot While Whipping an
Old Woman.

Ola woman
LOUISVILLE, KY, March 18.-A special
from Grab Orchard, KY, gives particulars
OF the killing of three vigilantes while
administering a whipping to woman
seventy years old in Rockcastle county.
The woman, Eliza Fish, persisted in sell
ing liquor after she had been warned
anonymously to stop. She kept low
kind of store and grocery shop. The
county is prohibition one. Last night
the vigilantes or law and order club
waited on Mrs. Fish. They took her out
of tie yard and were whipping her when
shots were fired from over the fence and
three of the kukIux were left dead. Their
names are John Long, Walter Tarpin and
John Hasty. There is no cleW as to who
did the shooting. Rockcastle county has
been infested by band Of kuklux for ten
years past, and all efforts to break ap the
lawlessness has failed. The old woman,
Fish, has been whipped before by the
vlgilantes and her son has been run out
of the country for selling liquors. There
is much excitement.

ThE Philadelphia Record, one OF the
most stalwaIt Democratic newspapers IN
the country, and which is on the ground,
thus speaks Of the "Randall" Republican
district: "Those newspapers which speak
of gerrymandering Mr. Randall out of
Congress are either uniformed as TO the
Philadelphia apportionment or DESTROYS
of misleading their readers. 1t is not
easy to fix up Z Democratic district in
Philadelphia. The district Mr.. Randall
represents is one of the most elaborate
shoe-string constructions that gerTyman-
dering politicians have yet devised. AS
the present superintendent YVES msde by 8
Republican Legislature to aid Mr.. Ran
dali in posturing before the country as a
Democratic Representative, rectifCa-
ton Of districts upon proper lines Of de-
marCation would not be making new
gerrymander, but unmaking an old one.
There would be no objection in any quar-
ter to sending Mr.. Randall back to Con
gress stripped of his Democratic disguise.
As q Republican he would have undoubted
merit and strength, and as Republican
he should hereafter stand for RepubIj-

\ Man Takes Charge of Locomotive with
Probable Good Intent.
Correspondence of the Gazette
WICHITA FALLS, TEX, March Il, 1886.
About midnight last night Mr.. Joseph
Durway, who has charge of the Fort
Worth and Denver engines at this place,
heard peculiar whistle from an engine
in the lower part of the yard and he at
once started for that place at lively
pace. Before he reached the lower end
of the yard he met an engine backing up
and at once signaled it to stop by swing
ing lantern, and the man at the throttle
stopped in the usual way. To his sur
prise he found Mr.. Z W. Hoge, who is
not in the employ of the company, in
charge OF the engine, and when asked
what he was doing, said he found the To-
connective alone and every one ought to
have some man with it. Mr.. DurWay
kindly explained to him that it was true
it was well 10 have a man in charge
but it was not always convenient and
ASKED him to 90 to his room. On eX-
animation it was found one of the
switches was considerably damaged and
Mr.. Terrell, the section foreman, and his
men were sent for and were soon on
hand repairing the track. 1t is said Mr..
II. has been rather Incorporate of late
and it is probable ne deserves sympathy
rather than harsh treatment. Mr.. HOge
is forty years old, without fanily and
man OF intelligence and education, and
has been favored with several public
offices at this place, and it is thought the
people here are WiIliI g to overlook any of
his shortcomings.
The justice after looking into the facts
held Hoge in the sum of $500 to answer
at preliminary examination set for Sat
urday.

THERE is curious feature in the strike
of the silk weavers Of Patterson, n. J.

the loss of $IOO,O a week. But the Gu

NIT, for this is virtually an attempt on the
part Of the boss Knights to coerce capital,
the cause OF the order being a refusal on
the part of the silk manufacturers to act
as collectors or guarantors of the organ
ization dues Of the knights. OF course it
is not stated just that way, but the de-
mand that no person shall be employed
in these works who is not in good stand

thing. AS manufacturers are not com

this demand is met by firm refusal, and
although strikers are applying daily for
work, the works will not resume until

THE Montgomery Advertiser of March
lG has full report from Vincent, the
embezzling state Treasurer of Alabama,
of his five years. wanderings. His arrest
at Big Sandy, Tex, by E. c. Ray, Deputy
Sheriff of Parker county, on the 18th of
this month will be remembered. That a
man, filling SO prominent an Office, could
drop out of sight so utterly has always
puzzled detectives, and now that his mar
rative shows so little endeavor on his
part st concealment there is little salts
faction for them. He started for New
York with only $500, but on his arrival
at Cincinnati, seeing Governor O'Neal's
telegram, he turned to st. Louis and
from thera made his Way through Texas
to Mexico, where his family joined him,
and where they have been living under an
assumed name. The stress Of poverty
drove him over the Rio Graude in search
of employment. On the 18th of February
ne was spotted, and ss soon as requisi-
ton papers were obtained Sheriff Ray
quietly arrested him, and is now
enjoying the offered reward of $4,000.
The skillful manner in which Mr.. Ray
managed the whole affair, is highly COM
mended on all sides, and he is decided to
be man of more than ordinary ability to
so successfully bring about q capture,
where thousands of dollars have been ex-
pended upon detectives to no purpose,
